Baby-led weaning (BLW) is a growing method for parents to introduce food to their kids. As advisers who affect the decisions of parents, health practitioners have significant obligations in this regard.
We aim to identify existing literature on the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of health professionals toward BLW.
We carried out a scoping review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. After registering with Open Science Framework, published articles were retrieved from EBSCOhost, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Open Grey, and the Portuguese Scientific Open Access Repository. Primary studies with full-text availability in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, and no data publication limitations were included.
The final sample included seven publications conducted in five countries published between 2012 and 2022. Only one study employed a hybrid methodology showing incongruent practices in parents/health professionals on BLW, whereas most studies employed a quantitative approach. Regarding BLW, it is recognized that there is a dearth of evidence, consensus, and advice.
Despite benefits, health professionals hesitate to recommend BLW due to insufficient study and safety concerns, warranting more research. Hence, our scoping review demonstrated that BLW is a scientifically under-researched subject, indicating a significant research gap that must be filled in the future.
自主进食断奶法（BLW）是一种越来越受父母欢迎的给孩子引入食物的方法。作为影响父母决策的建议者，健康从业者在这方面负有重大责任。
我们旨在识别关于健康专业人员对自主进食断奶法的知识、认知和态度的现有文献。
我们按照系统评价和Meta分析扩展版的首选报告项目进行了一项范围综述。在向开放科学框架注册后，从EBSCOhost、PubMed、SciELO、ScienceDirect、Open Grey和葡萄牙科学开放获取知识库中检索已发表的文章。纳入了全文为英文、西班牙文或葡萄牙文且无数据发表限制的原始研究。
最终样本包括2012年至2022年期间在五个国家进行的七项出版物。只有一项研究采用了混合方法，显示出父母/健康专业人员在自主进食断奶法方面的不一致做法，而大多数研究采用了定量方法。关于自主进食断奶法，人们认识到缺乏证据、共识和建议。
尽管有好处，但由于研究不足和安全担忧，健康专业人员对推荐自主进食断奶法犹豫不决，这需要更多的研究。因此，我们的范围综述表明，自主进食断奶法是一个科学研究不足的主题，这表明未来必须填补一个重大的研究空白。
